Odd

You know, sometimes, you see something that reminds you of someone. Someone you'd like to be with, but you can't? And it makes that tingly feeling in your guts?

Isn't it strange how that feeling is both good and bad? How sometimes, I wish I could make it go away, but other times, it brings the widest smile to my face? And most curiously, how sometimes it does both at the same time?

How does that work?

These two don't seem mutually exclusive to me?

You really meant "on any person you loved", not "or any person you loved", right?

[pphaneuf.livejournal.com]

Wow, I think you just went off the deep end, there. I have no idea what you're talking about. :-)

Oh, that part, I know, trust me!

That's one of the reasons I'm so against repressing my feelings, because there always seems to be something underlying those feelings, and ignoring them usually ends up with something blowing up in my face. So I try to not ignore them!

How does that work?

Easy. You're alive. That's all it takes.

Well, that easily explains the "tingly feeling in the guts" part. I agree that it's a sign of being alive, and it's good to be reminded of that.

It's how the exact same feeling sometimes feels good and makes me smile, and sometimes feels bad and brings a tear to my eye. And sometimes, at the same time!

I'm not complaining, it's more of an observation, and I find it rather curious. I figure I have no control over getting that feeling, but if I understand how that works a bit better, I could maybe set things up so that it leads to smiling rather than being bad!

how would you know good to be good if you have no bad to compare it to?

[pphaneuf.livejournal.com]

There is that. I guess if it was all bad, all the time, I should look into this much harder, but it was just a brief passing thing.

That's what Nutella and hugs are for.

You know where to get either of them.

You, lady, have a serious addiction to whitespace.
